We Banished Street Carnivals,

Eye-Sores.
The weeds in the outlying districts
of North Canton are disturbing the
minds of the officials whose duty it
is to see that the town is kept looking spick and span. They have asked,
beg-ged and threatened the lot owners. It is true their threats were
ccuched in mild terms, but they are
Using their patience, are the officials
and unless the obnoxious weeds are
cut promptly the town will do the job
and that means additional expense to
the o-wners of the land.
So get busy, and chop 'em down.
They don't look nice, give the town
a "hick" appearance, and really belong in places where they get excited
over the news that a "street carnival
is coming soon." Weeds have no
right to exist in a town like North
Canton.

His Party
Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Becher and
family, Mr. and Mrs. George Storta
and children, Mr. and Mrs. Glen
Schiltz and son Junior and Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Clouser have returned
home after spending two weeks at
Sage Lake, Michigan. They thoroughly explored the plain lands in the
northern part of the southern peninsula and enjoyed the scenery. As for
hshing, well, they caught pickerel,
bass and trout, and several other varieties.
The Sun likes Logan Becher and
wishes him nothing but the best, but
when he started to tell about the trout
he had for breakfast and the size of
the pickerel placed before him for dinner, we just "beat" it. There are
some things we can stand for without
batting an eyelash, but we draw the
line on trout and pickerel stories—
unless we happen to be around where
they are served, and then we enjoy
the fishfest.
Wirra, wirra, but some people have
al) the luck. But perhaps they deserve it.

HONOR PASTOR'S MEMORY
Clusters of Gladiolus Recall Work cf
Rev. R. Chapman
The Christian church pulpit on Sunday morning was ornamented with six
large clusters of gladious from the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield, whose,
son-in-law was the Rev. Robert Chapman, deceased, who served six years
as* pastor of the Christian church of
North Canton. The flowers were
raised by Miss Hatfield and were sent
to the church in memory of the former pastor. The gift was fittingly alluded to by the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom
and Mr. W. H. Hoover.

SERENADE WILLAMAN'S
Neighbors Greet Them On Their
Return From Honeymoon
Mr. and Mrs. Willaman returned

and were given an ovation by a number of their friends.
CAUGHT SIX-POUND PICKEREL
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Daily and Mr.
anil Mrs. Roy Winger have returned
from their camping at Big Indian
Lake, Michigan. They came home by
the way of Benton Harbor, St. Joseph
ar.d South Bend, Indiana, where they
r^ade a visit at the Studebaker factory. One of their party caught a six
pound pickerel, said to be the biggest
catch' of the season.
Mr. Sherman, a member of the W.
J. Sherman company, engineers, of
Toledo* was in North Canton a few
clays ago and in company with several of the town's officials he visited
tlie disposal plant and looked over the
sower situation from beginning to
end.
The trunk line sewer, which is to
connect North Canton to Canton, came
in for a large 5-hare of his attention.
Mr. Sherman was optimistic in discussing the sewei question. He said
he believed this section was in bett?r
shape than many towns in which his
fi-'m had inrtalled sewers; better
from the fact that the lay of the land
would nut re'.iuire so much labor to
]-ut in a large sewer.
His visit, while unofficial, nevertheless was much appreciated by the authorities here, and it gave them several new ideos on the building of
sewers.

WEEDS WORRY THE
TOWN'S OFFICIALS
We Banished Street Carnivals,
Now Let's Destroy Other
Eye-Sores.
The weeds in the outlying districts
of North Canton are disturbing the
minds of the officials whose duty it
is to see that the town is kept looking spick and span. They have asked,
beg-ged and threatened the lot owners. It is true their threats were
ccuched in mild terms, but they are
Using their patience, are the officials
and unless the obnoxious weeds are
cut promptly the town will do the job
and that means additional expense to
the o-wners of the land.
So get busy, and chop 'em down.
They don't look nice, give the town
a "hick" appearance, and really belong in places where they get excited
over the news that a "street carnival
is coming soon." Weeds have no
right to exist in a town like North
Canton.

His Party
Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Becher and
family, Mr. and Mrs. George Storta
and children, Mr. and Mrs. Glen
Schiltz and son Junior and Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Clouser have returned
home after spending two weeks at
Sage Lake, Michigan. They thoroughly explored the plain lands in the
northern part of the southern peninsula and enjoyed the scenery. As for
hshing, well, they caught pickerel,
bass and trout, and several other varieties.
The Sun likes Logan Becher and
wishes him nothing but the best, but
when he started to tell about the trout
he had for breakfast and the size of
the pickerel placed before him for dinner, we just "beat" it. There are
some things we can stand for without
batting an eyelash, but we draw the
line on trout and pickerel stories—
unless we happen to be around where
they are served, and then we enjoy
the fishfest.
Wirra, wirra, but some people have
al) the luck. But perhaps they deserve it.

Clusters of Gladiolus Recall Work cf
Rev. R. Chapman

r^ade a visit at the Studebaker factory. One of their party caught a six
pound pickerel, said to be the biggest
catch' of the season.
Mr. Sherman, a member of the W.
J. Sherman company, engineers, of
Toledo* was in North Canton a few
clays ago and in company with several of the town's officials he visited
tlie disposal plant and looked over the
sower situation from beginning to
end.
The trunk line sewer, which is to
connect North Canton to Canton, came
in for a large 5-hare of his attention.
Mr. Sherman was optimistic in discussing the sewei question. He said
he believed this section was in bett?r
shape than many towns in which his
fi-'m had inrtalled sewers; better
from the fact that the lay of the land
would nut re'.iuire so much labor to
]-ut in a large sewer.
His visit, while unofficial, nevertheless was much appreciated by the authorities here, and it gave them several new ideos on the building of
sewers.
